LittleBigPlanet Karting BETA Arrives!

Share this post

The LittleBigPlanet community is about to get another very special treat! In case the opportunity to participate in the LittleBigPlanet Beta on PS Vita wasn’t amazing enough, many of you will soon have the chance to participate in the LittleBigPlanet Karting Beta on PS3!

The goal of the Beta is to get feedback on the overall experience from Sackfolk who understand it like few others – you!

For a chance to take part in this exclusive event, head on over to the sign-up page to register your interest right away!

Have to agree with others above,I pay for Plus,yes I get games,cloud saves and the like but very rarely into Betas,which I remember being advertised as an element of Plus when I signed up. Now the emphasis in plus seems to be on games,would this not of been the perfect opportunity to allay any fears that those ‘little extras’ that Plus provides have not been forgotten?

Any idea when the beta will be active? I just this minute found out that I was in the Vita beta, but I never got an email to tell me I was so I had no idea to check. So a rough date of when I should look to see if I was lucky would be greatly appreciated so I don’t miss out.Thanks.

We will send an e-mail to your registered SEN account e-mail address when the Beta is live. Although sometimes these mails get caught up in spam filters so it would be best to check PSN Beta now and then.

We are not planning to open it up for at least a couple of weeks – so fear not, your F5 key and dedicated finger can have a rest during that time :)

LiquidRunner, as I mentioned above, I got absolutely no email about getting into the LBP Vita release, yet I found out today I was in it all along so I’m a bit concerned that I’ll miss out. Is there not a rough date you could give us to check the site just in case we get nothing again? Thanks.

You know that I would love to say a date just as much as you would love to hear it :).

As Betas are not the final game code nor a demo there is always the chance that a critical bug is found in the game before we launch it to you. It wouldn’t be much fun if you can’t even race with Sackboy, so the developers would want to iron this out before it is launched.

As a compromise & to avoid disappointment, I will come back to this reply when we update PSN Beta with the voucher codes/access and let you know :)

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I LOVE LBP! I’m looking to get into the games industry, initially as a tester so this would be such a fantastic opportunity for me. PLEASE PLEASE Sony; l hope you will consider me for this wonderful opportunity.

Thank you for showing your interest in the LittleBigPlanet™ Karting PlayStation® 3 Beta. We will be in touch soon if you are successful. But i must wait for the reply :o ive plyed lbp 1 and 2 and modnation and lbp psp XD N made some levels come onn Pick me!

That is correct :). The LBP Vita Beta that you are seeing is actually due to end shortly (it has been going on for a few weeks), so be quick while the servers are still live :)

If you are not on any other current Betas then you will see the “Your permissions do not allow you access to this section” message when you try to access PSN Beta directly after completing the sign-up form.

Mashing together Modnation Racers with Little Big Planet characters isn’t being creative.Tag didn’t work out, so now you’ve decided on using Sack boy who’s a lot more popular in order to kickstart a Mario Kart-like franchise. I wonder what’s next? Sack boy Tennis. Sack boy Golf. Sack boy Baseball. The list just goes on and on… and on…

All signed up! Super excited for the game. Bringing 2 of my all time favourite franchises together, there couldn’t possibly be anything better. Now just don’t keep us waiting very long for the games release.

Help! When I opened the sign-in page, the site loaded fine but the log-in part won’t load up giving me this message “The connection has timed out” I really want to help you report some game-breaking bugs :(
